1	To the chief Musician# , +FO even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I said# , I will take heed# to my ways, that I sin# not with my tongue: I will keep# my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. [my mouth...: Heb. a bridle, or, muzzle for my mouth]
			2	I was dumb# with silence, I held my peace# , even from good; and my sorrow was stirred# . [stirred: Heb. troubled]
			3	My heart was hot# within me, while I was musing the fire burned# : then spake# I with my tongue,
			4	LORD, make me to know# mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know# how frail I am . [how...: or, what time I have here]
			5	Behold, thou hast made# my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state# is altogether vanity. Selah. [at...: Heb. settled]
			6	Surely every man walketh# in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted# in vain: he heapeth up# riches , and knoweth# not who shall gather# them. [a vain...: Heb. an image]
			7	And now, Lord, what wait# I for? my hope is in thee.
			8	Deliver# me from all my transgressions: make# me not the reproach of the foolish.
			9	I was dumb# , I opened# not my mouth; because thou didst# it .
			10	Remove# thy stroke away# from me: I am consumed# by the blow of thine hand. [blow: Heb. conflict]
			11	When thou with rebukes dost correct# man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty# to consume away# like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah. [his...: Heb. that which is to be desired in him to melt away]
			12	Hear# my prayer, O LORD, and give ear# unto my cry; hold not thy peace# at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were .
			13	O spare# me, that I may recover strength# , before I go hence# , and be no more.
